What are the best coins to hold for future

[MrDobbs]

Probably ZeroCoin. They will make an announcement in the coming weeks.

More and more serious miners are now starting to use some hash power to mine Litecoins

As someone late to the coin game, I'm focusing almost entirely on LTC. At this point it just seems too difficult to get into BTC mining. Today it's still barely feasible for me to invest in some good gear, but at the rate of difficulty increase, that gear will be worthless in less than a year.

DVC is dirt cheap! got ~1500 of them

GHS is probably the best option imo. i am getting BTC, NMC, IXC, and DVC while holding GHS
